Why This Dish Is Hard To Resist

This gravy is rich and flavorful without any dairy or meat. It comes together quickly using simple ingredients you probably have on hand. It’s perfect for adding warmth and comfort to any plant-based meal.

Tips From The Kitchen

- Whisk continuously to avoid lumps and get a smooth texture.
- Use vegetable broth for a deeper, savory flavor.
- Adjust seasoning gradually to suit your taste.

Directions

Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a pot. While that’s heating up, add 1 1/4 cups of water, cashews, cornstarch, soy sauce, brewers' yeast, onion powder, lemon juice, basil, garlic powder, salt, and rosemary to a blender. Blend everything until it’s nice and smooth. Once the water is boiling, pour the blended mixture into the pot. Use the last 1/4 cup of water to rinse out the blender and add that to the pot too. Stir everything together and let it cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the gravy thickens up. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if you like, then you’re good to go!

Serving Guide

Serve this gravy over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or vegan meatloaf. It also pairs well with rice or biscuits for a cozy and satisfying meal.

Storing Food Safely

Store leftover gravy in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth or water if it thickens too much.
